Richmond County is one of the counties that make up the New York–Newark–Jersey City metro. Across its roughly 58 square miles, the pest story is the regional story told at county scale.
Read Richmond County's pest list off its geography: four full seasons — summer ticks and carpenter ants, fall invasions, winter rodent pressure, and the result is a calendar dominated by carpenter ants, ticks and house mice.
Richmond County covers 58 square miles of land — the 60th largest of 62 counties in New York by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 40.56° N, 74.14° W. It is one of 22 counties that make up the New York–Newark–Jersey City metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to New York licensing rules.
From New York, Richmond County lies about 14 miles to the south. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 58 square miles, Richmond County accounts for around 1% of the total county land in this one, and it is one of the metro's more compact counties. Pest pressure tracks those proportions loosely but honestly — more open land means more wildlife and field-pest interface; tighter settlement means more of the pests of density — and Richmond County's blend of the two is its own.

Within the same metro, Passaic County (186 sq mi) lies about 34 miles to the north; Putnam County (230 sq mi) lies about 63 miles to the north; Queens County (109 sq mi) lies about 17 miles to the east; Rockland County (174 sq mi) lies about 41 miles to the north; Somerset County (302 sq mi) lies about 25 miles to the west; Suffolk County (911 sq mi) lies about 80 miles to the east; Sussex County (518 sq mi) lies about 49 miles to the northwest; Union County (103 sq mi) lies about 11 miles to the northwest — each with its own county page in this index, because pest pressure is read county by county even when the metro is shared.
The Poughkeepsie, NY metro centre is about 71 miles to the north; the Kingston, NY metro centre is about 96 miles to the north; the Albany, NY metro centre is about 152 miles to the north.
